“Souleyman was a SCAPEGOAT! #TheApprentice,” another tweeted.
Some viewers felt team leader Riyonn Farad was to blame for the failure of the task and should have been fired instead.
One exclaimed: “That was a b******t decision on #TheApprentice tonight. Team leader should have gone.”
“In all honestly, stunned that Riyonn hasn’t gone this week. What a bloody disgrace #TheApprentice,” a second said.
The Apprentice airs Wednesdays at 8pm on BBC One.
